So what is your role in influencing creativity and innovation in others? We know it isn’t enough to simply add creativity to a list of values your organization espouses or to bring in consultants who get staff keyed up about innovating. Innovative ideas tend to require more risk than “more of the same”.

Acting Up Brings Everyone Down: The Impacts of Childish Behavior in the Workplace by Nick McCormick I hesitate to call this book cute, even though it is, because calling it that would mask its value. The whole book can be read in a very short time (only about 90 easy reading pages), but the lessons will last far longer.

This is the definition of presence, and it is only when we operate in the present that real creativity, growth and innovation occur. Is your rubber-band stretched so tight that it’s about to snap? Efficiency and productivity are not found working at or even near capacity.

Let me ask you a question – Have you become so efficient that you’ve rendered yourself ineffective? Are you efficient or effective, or do you know?

The first section of the book focuses on finding executives who “fit&# the organization.

The best leaders are focused on leading change and innovation to keep their organizations fresh, dynamic and growing. Not Forward Looking : No vision equals no leadership Leaders satisfied with the status quo, or who tend to be more concerned about survival than growth won’t do well over the long-run.
